MaxMutation Constraints Example

This an example of how to limit the size of mutations that will be accepted into
a table. Under the default configuration, accumulo does not provide a limitation
on the size of mutations that can be ingested. Poorly behaved writers might
inadvertently create mutations so large, that they cause the tablet servers to
run out of memory. A simple contraint can be added to a table to reject very
large mutations.

Now the table will reject any mutation that is larger than 1/256th of the
working memory of the tablet server. The following command attempts to ingest
a single row with 10000 columns, which exceeds the memory limit:
